I cannot recommend this online PLC school enough! The curriculum was incredibly comprehensive, covering everything from the basics of PLC programming to advanced topics like networking and communication protocols. The video lectures and practical exercises were engaging and easy to follow, and the course materials were well-organized and easy to navigate. The instructors were knowledgeable and supportive, always available to answer questions and provide feedback. I felt like I was getting a truly personalized learning experience, even though the course was entirely online. Thanks to this program, I now have a solid understanding of PLC programming and am confident in my ability to tackle even the most complex automation projects. If you're looking to build your skills in PLC programming, this online school is an absolute must!

First off, I did shop around not so much for cost, but to find an instructor who taught the subject well for me. Shawn was an easy choice. I thought the course was very good and the method of building an evolving program to meet a customer's needs from scratch was a great way to learn. In addition, being able to revisit lessons to shore up steps is very helpful. I would recommend this course to others.

I can honestly say that I have learned more with this course than I did with A-B's version. I feel so much more confident with communications between the computer, drivers, and the plc. And I understand better the functions and the processes that are taking place in the plc regarding XIC's, TON's, and Counters. This has really opened my eyes!
